    Summary

    Loop had died. They deserved it. And now they were back to the start, sitting under the same tree, with an unsaved country and a clueless Siffrin.
    They know the answer. The Escape Route. It's as simple as telling him. This time it'll be done and over with before the Loops even hit double digits.

    They discover much to their horror that he is not the one looping.

    She is.

     

    Mirabelle is Looping, and Loop is still the Guide. With this burden comes questions of belief and purpose.

    Summary

    Unbidden, you imagine joining Siffrin and Isabeau at the booth, linking your arm with Siffrin's at the elbow and twining your fingers together like you so often want to. You picture a strained, begrudging smile. A hollow-cheerful oh, you're here. A cutting-off, a missed step, a broken ease.

    (Oblivious, out of place, in the way.)

    Your footsteps slow.

    You    aren't sure you should be here anymore.

    Summary

    They're right. The psychic one is right, somehow. Those are the words she would use, the order she would say them in. They're right and Mirabelle doesn't like it.

    The animal part of her screams.

    "How-"

    "-do I know all of this?" Again, again, the smile in their voice is blindingly bright. The fortune teller laughs, and it's sharp. "Like I said, Housemaiden, I know far more about you than just your name!"

    -

    Years before any such thoughts of Curses and Kings, Mirabelle gets (very kindly) peer pressured into consulting a carnival psychic.

    (aka, mirabelle gets a relationship reading from a very special fortune teller)

    Summary

    It seens to crawl straight into her brain, despite the medications that should keep such types of primitive urges at bay.

    To rub skin against skin so nobody dares do any of them any wrong. To ensure there's no real threat near of them - to cut short any bolt of boldness that could make something or someone try anyway, no matter how much violence would be needed. Like her body realised her heart refused to accept the main role and expanded the secondary one to take up the room.

    Like she's so broken that even the deepest, most primitive parts of her twisted.

    Summary

    Maybe she should just go back to the room. Take the leftover edge of Isa’s blanket, and try to get to sleep again. If she closed her eyes, maybe the tears would finally come, or else the burning would subside. If she closed her eyes, maybe she could find a better dream, one where the House she loved had never been unmade, and she could hold Siffrin’s hand as she guided her family down its halls without fear. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

    Maybe she was just tired of missing everything she'd lost.

    Summary

    Three years have passed since the King was defeated and Vaugarde was saved. Mirabelle spent those years helping around the country, but she’s been putting off her pilgrimage long enough.

    The reason for her pilgrimage is a little... unorthodox, however. She's looking for someone, and all she has is a vague description, the name of a Mwudu university, bare strokes of a plan, and the mirror picture she's kept in her pocket since finding it on Siffrin's bed in the infirmary. No one knows where they disappeared to after he collapsed right after the battle with the King, but if Mirabelle's right, if she finds Siffrin in Mwudu, then...

    She's... not sure. She wants answers. She knows that much, but the answers turn out to be more complicated than she'd thought to imagine.

    A housemaiden should know how to let go, but sometimes it's important to know when to hold on tight.

    Summary

    Horror stories had fascinated Mirabelle for as long as she could remember. The catharsis, the thrills, the relief, she loved all of it! And perhaps, sometimes, privately, she imagined what it would be like to be one of the characters in them.

    And not always the victim.

    Sometimes, she imagined stalking through dark forests and haunted castles, her long claws scratching the ground with every step.

    After the King’s defeat this old interest intersects with her new studies into body craft, and things swiftly get out of hand.

    Summary

    Something was wrong with Siffrin tonight. No, something had been wrong since they woke up in that field, Mirabelle just hadn’t noticed, too focused on what they might face tomorrow instead.

    Or, loop 4 from the party’s point of view.

    Summary

    The stars shine on you, but you resent them. You don't want to be here, you don't want to be this anymore. These attempts-- no, your own actions have caused you to become a monster. "Pain now for a guaranteed victory against something seemingly insurmountable," was your exact thought when she made that choice. You couldn't be more wrong.

    Without anyone else in the loops, she needs to figure everything out on her own. Dreams plague Mirabelle, attempts slip through her head, every decision she makes is the wrong one, and she will need to live with her mistakes. There is no Loop, there are no sparkles, there are no save points.

    Her only choice is to endure.

    Summary

    "The King first appeared on the horizon like a trick of perspective – strides that stretched so much further than they should have, height only proven possible by the silhouettes of trees he crushed on his way, armor clashing a distant scream. They’d all felt it, in the dimming of the afternoon sun, in the soft wind dying without warning, in the silence of the birds. A sudden chill as all the flames fell to ashes, suffocated by the stagnant air. A premonition, a realization, the stillness in midair before you fall."

    The House of Change falls to the King, and Mirabelle is forced to flee her home.

    Summary

    Act 4. Siffrin found the list and asked everyone in Dormont about their Wish. Next, he should as the Head Housemaiden, see if she knows anything, see if SHE'LL ANSWER THEM.

    Instead, they chose to keep the play going, chose to stay with his family. Eventually, though, Mirabelle's blessing grew, and she began to remember the loops and that these loops were because of Siffrin.

    Now. She sits with them in the infirmary after the loops have been broken and they all have a future again. She loves her friend still, and she knows they were unwell, but. She can't help but feel hurt. Betrayed. Angry.

    Summary

    A few minutes later, the lights dimmed, the din of conversation came to a hush, and the music began.

    Mirabelle’s heart started to pound as the curtains drew back.

    This was it- the play was about to start!

    Summary

    The Priestess is related with inner knowledge. Her appearance in a reading signifies that it is time for you to listen to your intuition rather than prioritizing your intellect and conscious mind. She represents someone that is beginning to open to their spirituality. Meditation, prayer, and new spiritual work is indicated.

    Having barely escaped the House—and the King's curse—Mirabelle reflects on her relationship with her faith and the Change God, and is forced to come to terms with her newfound responsibility of saving Vaugarde.

    Summary

    "What are you reading?"

    Mirabelle's most and least favorite question.

    A series of moments in Mirabelle's life where people asked her that in regards to some of her more out there tastes. Monster romance, outright horror, and other uncomfortable topics. Some people react with disgust, with bafflement, and even she wonders if there's something wrong with her for seeing herself in topics like these, for finding comfort and catharsis in the horrifying...

    And others help her find understanding and community in it, something she passes to Siffrin as well.

    Summary

    "Why do you look at me like that?" Siffrin asks.

    I've seen you die, Mirabelle thinks. I've seen you carve lines through your neck, I've seen you choke on air, I've seen you been crushed by a rock, I've seen you smile at me like it's the last thing you'll ever do.

    And, damningly, I could never have imagined you with two eyes.

    Mirabelle looks away, feeling her face flush. "No reason!!!"

    -

    Looping in time leaves imprints on the time-space continuum, repetitive steps woven into the very fabric of reality. Ghosts of loops haunt the prison that once was, or… the prison that will be.

    (aka, years before the world freezes, mirabelle is haunted by the ghost of a friend she's yet to make. how can she possibly save someone she already knows is doomed?)

    Summary

    “Saviour Isabeau, right?” Mirabelle nods and the stranger lets out a sharp bark of laughter, leaning in uncomfortably close. “You don’t have to go when he calls. What, is he your partner or something?”

    (“You said WHAT.” 

    “I PANICKED."

    “YOU SAID ISA’S YOUR PARTNER???”

    “I KNOW?! I WAS THERE!?!”)

    -

    A couple slips of the tongue is all it takes for the entirety of Vaugarde to become convinced that Mirabelle and Isabeau have gone through an epic romance - the greatest of the ages - that most can only dream of. Now, it's up to Mirabelle and Siffrin to keep up the illusion to the rest of the world, and make sure their party can never ever find out about this.

    (aka, mirabelle panics, siffrin has a crisis, isabeau's only half-clueless, and no matter what the tabloids say, the fake dating stays fake dating)
